| Stupid is as stupid does |
New York Governor [inherited position] Kathy Hochul (D-what else?) used the shooting of two police officers Friday to make a political stance. Rather than blaming the scumbag who ambushed the cops, the leftist fool went after the inanimate object and asked for Congress to help "fight the scourge of illegal guns on our streets."
Fighting the scourge of illegal guns has little to do with the law--they're ILLEGAL guns used by lawbreakers who don't care what Congress has to say about them. This is so obvious that it's tiring to keep saying it. The only way to get illegal guns off the streets is to get the criminals who use them off the streets. Perhaps the Left needs to think about what they've done with their 'no bail' policies and the turnstile justice system that isn't a justice system for law abiding citizen victims.
Using the same, predictable worn out rhetoric, Hochul said at a press conference in Buffalo: "Our hearts and prayers are with the families and the members of the NYPD, but also, it's a resounding call to action."
So far, the only call to action the Left has demanded was to defund the police. They always seem to get it backwards. She continued: "We have to do more to fight the scourge of illegal guns on our streets. And we need Washington teaming up with us, teaming up with locals, to get it done."
'Stop and frisk' was a way that law enforcement was able to get illegal guns off the street, but the Left put an end to that, and this led to more illegal guns on the street.
The Left always get things backwards.
NYPD Officers Jason Rivera, 22, and Wilbert Mora, 27, were ambushed at a Harlem apartment Friday night in response to a domestic dispute between a woman and her adult son. Officer Rivera died from his wounds and Mora is fighting for his life with a serious head wound, officials said.
The shooter, a 47-year-old black man was critically wounded. He was on probation for a 2003 felony narcotics conviction and has a long rap sheet.
A stolen Glock handgun from Baltimore in 2017 was recovered at the scene.
Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday called on federal authorities to do more to seize illegal guns.
"We're removing thousands of guns off the street, but there's an endless flow that continues to come through our city borders," Adams said. " I am encouraged by the president's acknowledgement that we need to collaborate with city, state, and federal entities the way we did during 9-11 to fight terrorism we have to fight the crimes on our street."
Hochul admitted that her state has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country but guns are coming in from other states where the Second Amendment is respected. [She didn't put it that way, of course.] She said that federal intervention is needed, but did not specify how that would get illegal guns off the street.restrictions and that federal action is needed.
"These guns, despite our tough laws here in the state of New York, and we're proud of them, they're coming in from other states," the unelected governor said. "They're flooding our streets, and I have pledged the resources of the New York State police to become embedded with NYPD and others to help them.
"In fact, we've tripled – just a week ago on our budget, tripled the funding for this gun interdiction effort because they're coming in from Virginia and Maryland and coming in from Pennsylvania to our very streets," she continued. "And we have to do whatever we can to protect our neighborhoods."

And more social workers isn't the answer. Stop and frisk, tougher jail sentences and a "broken windows" approach is a start.
It has taken these recent tragedies in New York City in recent weeks to get leaders to call on Democratic lawmakers in Albany to repeal its bail reform law whereby criminals get to walk out the door of the police station before the arresting officer finishes the paperwork of the crime.
It's madness, perpetrated by lawmakers who never have the personal experience of being violated as a result of the laws they create.
